The tracks were saved from the same series CD-R and eight-track cassettes that spawned Thrash & Burn, Ariel Pink's previously unreleased late-1990s musique concrète album that was released in 2006 and reissued in 2012. The compilation also features a cover of the Shaggs song, "My Cutie".[1]

Allmusic critic Heather Phares gave the album a positive review, stating: "Coupled with Thrash & Burn, Early Live Recordings delivers an entertainingly fleshed-out portrait of Pink's pre-Haunted Graffiti years."[3] Andy Beta of Pitchfork was mixed in his assessment of the album, writing: "While excavating the eight Haunted Graffiti albums revealed repulsive and alluring sounds in equal measure, Early Live Recordings' only real crime is that little of it fascinates."[2]
